To thrive as a Local Tanker Truck Driver, you need a valid commercial driver’s license (CDL) with tanker and often hazardous materials endorsements, safe driving skills, and a strong understanding of DOT regulations. Familiarity with electronic logging devices (ELDs), GPS navigation, and proper loading and unloading equipment is important.
